The 3% long term consequences

+0
−0

WARNING THE FOLLOWING CONTAIN SPOILERS!

I watched the first season of The 3% and I am wondering about the wisdom in the strategy adopted by this world.

Spoilers

Specifically, if the 3% ( "smartest people" ) are sterilized for many generations, does that put evolutionary pressure on the remaining 97% to become less intelligent? Or, will the inherent hardships ( due to the environment ) of the 97%, out pace the former. In other words, how does the remaining fertile population evolve?

  • Will they become a different kind of "Smart" in the long run?

  • Will they mostly remain at the same mean level of intelligence?

  • Does the population regress relative intelligence?
